Hi
Recently I found out one thing. The damagefalloff on large distances isn't what it used to be (half damage).
I've noticed it on a pub, but tested it also on warserver with euro6v6 cfg. The problem is, that damage varies according to distance from 3 to normal 18 for bodyshot (7-40(50) for HS).
It is completely impossible to kill a sniper on long range now. (eg. Battery).
I'm not sure If I missed something (some news, etpro changelog, etc.), so if anyone knows why is it this way, please inform me.

From the 2.60 readme: "Fixed the distancefalloff bug (damage would drop, then suddenly increase with distance)."

It was fixed in etpro long before that. More here:

Aha thanks, didn't notice that when 2.60 was introduced, but why has the damage been lowered so much on long range? Why not just fixing the bug and leaving damage at 1/2 normal ? I simply don't get it.

Huh ? As far as I know, body it does fall to half (as it always did. Only the slope portion was messed up in 2.56)

Headshot damage falls to 0.2, like it always did. Again, the 'slope' portion was wrong, and that was fixed.

Well the 3hp per hit on long range is reality, just check it. (by long range I mean eg. in oasis from axis spawn to allied CP). You can check the demo I created on euro 6v6 cfg, etpro 3.2.4 in the xfire link in my first post.

If this is true it is a bug. A g_debugdamage log or actual demo might be more convincing.

edit:
Yup, it's completely broken.

A body shot should never do 3 damage.

That fix was because damage actually increased at the end of 'mid distance', instead of continuing the natural slope downwards.

This is a different issue.

Yes, this issue is that body shots use the headshot formula, starting sometime after eptro 3.2.0

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

I guess I can't just drop it in the etpro directory?

it's intentional to prevent people from using it in matches or anything except testing. it doesn't mean it's broken.

Testfix looks OK to me.

damage @2500+ units is 9 body, 10 headshot (without hat). The 'ramp' from 1500 to 2500 works too.

cant wait to play 3.2.5

3.2.5 is waiting on SL|Masta to confirm the bug is fixed or not.
